The complete history of Gloucester City

[BobCarolgees]

Was in Waterstones earlier and saw said book in a decent location amongst the sports section. 2 things came to my attention;

1. Two school kids waked past, 1 with a Man Utd shirt on and the other with a Chelsea shirt on... 1 of them saw the book and said "Gloucester City? Who watches them?". Obviously being away from Gloucester for so long doesn't help but I do believe we are missing a generation here. Cheltenham seemed to have a good idea of offering schools in the county free tickets, we don't want to loose potential support from that. Kids are now the Sky generation and sadly the majority are glory hunters who latch onto teams for success reasons without any sense of local pride or loyalty. We are never going to change that but would be nice to at least get a load of youngsters down just so they can see we exist (even I'll put up with their screeching)

2. At the end of the book, a certain terrace ditty appears, however without mention of the song creator-one Roberto Carolgees.... I do believe that is an infringement on my human rights.

Mr Clark - See you in Strasbourg ;)

Quite agree about the youngsters. This has to happen next season, and I believe that it will.

Re. Tim's book, the good thing is that Waterstones report a very good interest in it.

It would help us for the future no doubt.

Also, when I was younger, the club ran football summer camps coached by the management team and some of the players. It would be fantastic if this could happen again in the next few years with many of our players coaching kids anyway at schools etc! It would no doubt raise the clubs profile in the City and among the youth of Gloucester.

I saw said book the other day as well and I believe there are pictures of me in there that I didn't give consent for or for that matter receive royalties.

See you in Strasbourg as well! :)

Theres two kids at my lads football training who wear City shirts, they dont seem to mind it either despite everyone else in the customary "big four " kits.
Dont no who there folks are tho.
Got the book for xmas, find it very intresting..

I always feel obliged to hide the 'Cheltenham Town's Greatest Matches' books in the Chelt Waterstones. Last time they ended up tucked behind the Russian bit of the language section. I invite all like minded individuals to join me in this endeavour.

I just slip it into the crack between two floorboards.

I just write "my arse, their faces" on the front cover.
